Tara,
I am trying to collect growth information in some 24 SQL Servers 2008 R2 +, and I wanted to take a look at your zip file, but when I pressed the link from this webpage:
http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/archive/2008/12/16/How-to-track-database-growth-across-multiple-SQL-Server-instances.aspx
You can download the code here.
When I pressed here, I get: Not found from the link:

Please advise, thanks, Carlos Jimenez.

Hey Sir,
The code download is broken in this link
http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/archive/2009/02/25/How-to-refresh-a-SQL-Server-database-automatically.aspx
Sorry about that. The code can be found here: http://tarakizer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2014/11/Refresh.zip
I’ll get Tara to fix her original post.
I was re-directed here for the “Defragmenting/Rebuilding Indexes in SQL Server 2005 and 2008” Stored Procedures, but got the “File not found” error. Please direct me to the where the SP is stored.
Hello Tara,
I’m working in SAP Team. Long time ago, I adapted your reindex script to our SAP DB on MSSQL. Now we are on HANA DB, times are changing. But your SQL Script was fantastic for a couple of years, thanks a lot =(:-).
Have a good time, best regards Daniel, from germany
